I know football has changed but how could he not be ?There again when they named England’s greatest ever Managers Howard Wilkinson was up there,Cloughie was down the pecking order and Sir Stan never even got a mention .
It will always be a generational thing I am afraid .

Don't know what team has been selected but should definitely have Billy Wright, Frank Swift, Bobby Moore & Jimmy Greaves in it. Maybe Stan Cullis too.

I watched on old interview with Jimmy Greaves last week...he was one of the only ones who thought England would win the cup in 66, but said the 1961 team was a far greater team.

The England team for Euro 96 was the best that I've seen.

The England team for Euro 96 was the best that I've seen.

I don't think that team was particularly great in terms of individual talent from Gazza and Shearer. Worked well as a unit though of course.

The saddest thing about football is that not only that great players e.g. Matthews, Finney, Dean etc etc , are now virtually unknown but also that film of them playing is hard to come by.
